JJS, nice travelogue! (Leave it JJS to bring us back to riding.
)
If you crossed the Westport River on Hixbridge, did you climb the hill heading west? That's a killer. Sharon and I took the tandem up there on a NBW ride once. You stand at the bottom and ask yourself what's that thing way up in the air? Oh, I think it's a traffic light. Or a plane, I can't tell for sure. I guess if you had the wind at your back you were heading west. It was a strong wind from the east today, wasn't it?
